Universal Orlando has quietly updated the fondant decoration on a prominent Stranger Things-themed treat at Halloween Horror Nights, replacing an uncensored line of dialogue with a family-friendly alternative, according to reporting by The Florida Buzz.
Erica Sinclair’s Sedative-Laced Pastry Gets a Clean-Up
The dessert in question is a miniature vanilla cream pie inspired by the character Erica Sinclair from the upcoming final season of the series. During a memorable scene in Stranger Things 5, the character bakes a sedative-laced pie to protect the Turnbow family from a Demogorgon, delivering a sharp line of dialogue when a family member resists eating it. Universal originally translated that exact phrase onto a fondant speech bubble atop the $9 park treat.
Subtle Swaps on the Universal Sweets Menu
The modification swaps out the full profanity on the pastry’s fondant topper for an asterisk-softened version, changing the inscription to read "I told you to eat your d*** pie!" according to observations shared on Instagram by user sam.iin.wonderland.
Despite the text adjustment on the sugar decoration, the physical treat remains otherwise identical. Park visitors can still purchase the dessert for $9 at Universal Sweets located inside Universal Studios Florida, as well as at the Island Market Candy Shop situated within Islands of Adventure.
Tracking the Quiet Editorial Shift
The change was initially brought to light by the entertainment outlet WDWNT before being detailed further across local attraction coverage.
